At the end of a snowy winter, when the weather starts to get a little bit warmer, we can’t help but feel a bit optimistic about what is to come. These pretty fingerless mittens feature a column of lace that runs down the back of the hand reminiscent of the joyful flowers that will soon be popping up everywhere. This project uses only a small amount of yarn, perfect for those precious lone skeins that are in your stash!

This pattern was part of a live crochet event at the Creative Crochet Corner. The pattern is free when signing up for the Creative Crochet Corner Newsletter. You can watch a re-play of the live event on the Creative Crochet Corner Website or over on YouTube.

Yarn Used for Fingerless Mittens Shown
WeCrochet High Desert Sport (sport weight, 100% USA Grown Shaniko Wool; 298 yards 273m/ 3.5 oz 100 grams: Lupine #29260; 1 skein

Note: This yarn comes in both sport weight and worsted weight- be sure you are purchasing the sport weight yarn. Also, there are two different size skeins: one has twice the yardage compared to the other. You will only need one of the smaller skeins to make a pair of these fingerless mitts. I have listed the larger size above because that was the only size available in this colorway.
